I have demoed both machines, the 755K and the 63d. Does anyone have any imput on this subject.

The 756K is a nice loader, John Deere took their time working on it and they did a pretty good job. I have a fair bit of time in track loaders, I wasn't the greatest fan of the 755K but mostly for the same reasons I have never liked 963's.
The 963D is great for hydraulic speed, cab layout, power and visibility. For water/sewer backfill I prefer Cat track loaders. They multi function a little better with the loader and the bucket dumps further making it nicer for raking material to dry it.
The 755K has by far a better drivetrain than the Cat. They turn better, travel better and burns less fuel doing it. The loader is a touch slower than the cat but has more grunt to it. If I was lot grading, stumping or loading trucks I'd probably take the Deere. Service is also top notch on the Deere. Everything is at ground level and in one spot which is nice. I find the Deere also likes cold climate better than the Cats.
The 755K I had was one of the early units and worked in extremely cold temperatures. I've since had a newer machine and honestly liked it much better. The 963D's I've run have been high hour units and had the usual Cat track loader issues with those hours. They're both stellar machines and you'd be happy with either one.
Which did you prefer? What's your application for this machine?
